I suppose there's a few people I should address.
To Tom Brady and Bill Belichick:
You wondrous saviors of this franchise, the way that the rabid, headline obsessed, trashy and moralistic media have dragged your reputations through into the mud is disgusting. What we're seeing now, and what we saw in 2007, were not witch hunts. No they were crucifixions on behalf of a throng of jealous, embittered mediots, fans, and ex-players. Fans of 31 other teams might be willing to besmirch what you two have accomplished, but I and my fellow Pats fans recognize that you two are the greatest things to ever happen to the New England Patriots. Tom, you're the GOAT and no amount of suspensions or fines is going to convince me otherwise. You solidified your place as the greatest back in February. Bill, you're going to do an excellent job holding down the ship in Tom's absence. The NFL doesn't deserve men like you. And when all is said and done, I hope you too make the clear as you exit the withered, dying body of this sport.
To Jimmy G:
This might be the biggest test of your life yet. There's gonna be a lot of scrutiny, but just remember one thing: Don't give those ****ers with the microphone an inch. It's not going to be easy, and the shoes you're filling are enormous ones, but I have faith you can lead this team in Tom's stead. Good luck, and give em hell, Aladdin.
To the other 51 players on this roster:
We're on to Pittsburgh. For Tom and for Coach Belichick, let's make this season one to remember.
To Robert Kraft:
Not once, but twice you've left this organization out to dry in an attempt to appease a commissioner that has proven time and time again, to be an incompetent, arrogant, and callous individual. Mr Kraft, whatever you might think you owe Roger Goodell, it pales in comparison to what you owe Tom and Bill. I hope you've realized this by now, and I hope you start standing up for the guys that really have done you favors.
To Roger Goodell:
Mr. Goodell, I hold you accountable of the crime of desecrating the sport that you claim to care about. Since you stepped in as commissioner, you've done nothing but bungle your way through whatever issue comes your way. You aren't an judge of conduct, you're a prostitute that appeases whatever voice screams at you the loudest. How you ever rose to the position of ''Commissioner'' of this sport is utterly baffling, but know this: You may think you're safe because you scored brownie points with the mob by suspending a man who's done more for this sport in 15 years than you have in your entire lifetime, but I can assure you that it won't be the last time they'll call for your head. Pretty soon, the corruption in the NFL will be exposed again, and you'll be caught in the crossfire again, making weak excuses for yourself that nobody will believe. You'll screw it up, I know you will because a screwup has been what you have constantly proven to be. One day, you're going to be exposed however... They'll realize your purported care for the "integrity of the game" is nothing but a sham you use to rake in the money and protect the image of the squalor that is the NFL. And when **** finally hits the fan, I hope to be there, in the throes of elation over your downfall, a downfall that has long been overdue. Go **** yourself Roger Goodell, you're a blight on this culture.
To my fellow posters on Patsfans.
Buckle up, we are in for a hell of a ride. But regardless of whether or not we hoist a 5th Lombardi next year, I can state that I'm privileged to be a part of this community.
